Key Competencies

LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.

Before LS2 went to camp, our challenge was to think about when we might have used the key competencies as we overlooked each challenge. 

After coming back from camp, we looked at our key compentencies and compared how we thought we would use the key competencies to how we really used the key competencies. 

I found this activity helpful because we worked as a team to talk about our ideas and expanded the ideas more in depth.

Brochure

LI: to create a collaborative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp.

Over the last week, the students in LS2 have challenged themselves while participating in archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering.

Our group worked together to create a brochure that gives information and shows readers why Kokako Lodge is an amazing area to go camping.

We talked about the cabins, catering and the activities. The cabins are spacious and can hold up to 12 or 14 people per cabin. There is a large kitchen in the Kokako Lodge area and you can choose whether you would like to self-cater or receive food from caterers. 

I found this activity enjoyable because it required us to work as a team.

Camp Collage

LI: to create a collage of your camp highlights.

This week, we have been celebrating our camp. I created a collage which shows my time at camp. 

During camp, the teachers took photos of us doing our activities. I used the photos that I thought were the best and showed my highlights and added them to the collage. I thought about the size of the images and left no blank spaces.

I used a photo of our class at the Hunua waterfall in the middle to show who went as well as where our camp took place. The rest of the photos were my camp highlights and the things I enjoyed.

I found this activity pleasuring because I got to see all the types of activities I did and it showed the amount of fun I had during our camp journey.

Five Minutes of Camp

LI: to recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp.

Last week, LS2 went to camp at Kokako Lodge. The 5 minutes snapshot that I have written, shows my personal voice and my perspective of the activity I chose (High Beams). 

I have attempted to paint a picture of what I had done while attempting the activity. I made my 5 minute snapshot more interesting by describing my feelings during the activity. 

I hooked people in with my story by coming up with a good title that makes people want to read more of my story as well as describing the story using my thoughts at the time.

I found this activity fun because I got to write a recount about how I felt during the activity. 

Kokako Infographic

LI: to create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako.

This week, LS2 has received a set of tasks to complete based around out camp for 2021. 

Using our smart searching skills, we found information about the North Island Kokako bird. A North Island Kokako is usually large and are blue. An interesting fact we have found about the Kokako bird is that they can only fly 100 metres.

To see if the information we have gathered is true and reliable, we linked three different sources that have almost the same information about the Kokakos.

I found this activity enjoyable and interesting because I found out more information about Kokakos.
